A Proper Brew
EIGHT STEPS TO A PERFECT CUP OF TEA
1 
Empty the old water out of the kettle and fill it up with fresh water from the cold water tap.
In some hard-water areas it may be necessary to use filtered water. Do not fill the kettle with 
more water than you need because this wastes energy. Switch the kettle on to boil.
2 
Meanwhile get out the following items: teapot; tea cosy if you have one; teapot stand; milk; 
white sugar or sweeteners; and the required number of mugs or cups.
3 
When the kettle is hot, but not yet boiling, add some water to the teapot to preheat it, and 
then pour this water away. Do not wait until the kettle is boiling before preheating the teapot 
because the water will need to be boiled again and this wastes energy. A cold teapot 
absorbs some of the heat needed for the brewing process.
4 
Place the tea bags in the warmed teapot. One tea bag per person will make a strong brew. 
Two tea bags, properly infused, are sufficient to make three cups of tea with the correct 
amount of water in the teapot.
5 
When the water comes to the boil, pour it onto the tea bags and give the brew a quick stir. 
Place the lid on the pot and put on the tea cosy to keep the brew warm. A teapot stand will 
protect the work surface from the heat of the pot.
6 
Allow the tea to infuse for between three and five minutes to achieve the desired strength, 
according to taste. If you prefer black tea, then two minutes might be sufficient, whereas
a herbal or fruit tea might need at least six minutes.
7 
Pour a small amount of milk into the empty cups or mugs, and add the desired amount of 
sugar if required. Alternatively you can wait until the tea has been poured out before adding 
the milk and sugar, if you prefer.
8 
Remove the tea cosy and pour the tea into the cups. Biscuits are an optional extra. 
Digestives and Rich-tea biscuits are ideal for dunking.
